He is the only junior QB in the draft, he has a huge arm but as a junior was very inconsistent.
I seriously doubt he declared without a projection from the NFL Advisory Boards and it was likely a 2nd or 3rd round grade.
However, Juniors are given every opportunity to move up especially with a weak QB class in front of him. Tennessee collapsed this past season but in the right atmosphere could this guy really bloom and shock everybody and end up as the #1 QB in this year's draft.

I'm just playing Devil's advocate here but in the back of my mind, I think Bray's upside is far greater than at least Glennon, Wilson, Jones, Manual, Nassib and Dysert. In the end, will he challenge for the 1st round????

I don't think so. There are off the field concerns with him too which I think pushes him into the 3rd round myself.

All, I'm saying is that as the Senior class of QB's continues to disappoint, Bray may start to look better and better and the position is after all crucial to a team.
I don't know a whole lot about Bray's off field issues and would appreciate it if you filled me in so I can ascertain how serious they were.

He's going to get a strong opportunity to workout and demonstrate his abilities and intangibles and I think a real opportunity has opened up for him, the door may only be slightly adjar but at least it is open after the Senior Bowl performances of his competitors.

Interviews will seal the deal for Bray.
Teams will want to see how tightly screwed on Bray's cap is.
If all those tats etc. mean nada character-wise like they do for Kaepernick, if he can show NFL teams that he's stable enough to be the face of a franchise, Bray has a chance to be taken no later than the 2nd.

And this is coming from a person who was a Bray believer before this past season - That Tenn team was not above average, and yes Dooley sucked as a coach but he took them out of every big game i watched. Throws out of bounds, way off on passes down the field. He flat out sucked to be honest.

God, with such massive maturity issues, I would kind of be surprised to see him go before the fifth round. Guys like him hardly ever succeed as long-term starters, and I would think teams would lean towards less toxic developmental/backup guys. Guys like Landry Jones, Zac Dysert and E.J. Manuel have close to the same physical talent and far, FAR less potential to cause headaches. I would not be surprised to see him go undrafted. #JevanSneadJr.

Interesting if you remember that he is only a junior so his game is still raw with a huge upside compared to Glennon or Mallett. It could also explain his immaturity. I know that his interviews will be crucial for him.

The idiot that is Michael Lombardi is liable to draft him in the 1st round. This is the same Lombardi who has exactly 1 pro bowler in 20 years of FO experience. The same Lombardi who was adament about Ryan Mallett being a Top 15 play who will go in the top half of the 1st. The same Michael Lombardi that wouldn't let Belichek draft Warren Sapp. The same Lombardi that said Josh Gordon was a wasted draft pick. I can go on and on about his long line of suck. I wish I could be wrong as often as him and right as little as him and still keep a job.

True, but Mallett came out in a much stronger QB year. And he paid dearly for that. If he were in this draft, he'd probably be a top 10 pick.

Mallet was not as immature as Bray. Scouts said they challenged him in the film room to test his football smarts and came away impressed as they couldn't wear him out. Their were character concerns yes but he went to an excellent situation. Bray is no where near as polished as mallet coming out physically and mentally.
